nothing short of amazing! Here are the top activities to try on your trip an
hour outside of New York City.

August

Jaw-dropping magician Jay
Mattioli takes the stage on
Sunday, August 12, at the Grand
Cascades Lodge. Mattioli blew minds on
America's Got Talent, and his talent has doubled since his big break. The show
is free, and a complimentary shuttle will be running from Minerals
Hotel.

Every Sunday thru September guests can take a
free Vernon Valley Farm Tour, one of the area’s top local attractions. Shuttles run from the
resort to Vernon Valley where you’ll enjoy a hay wagon guided tour of the farm,
harvest fresh fruit and vegetables, and pet the animals. The farm is over 270
acres in size. Modern farmers Kirk and Christina Stephens will lead the tours.

On August 21, the family is invited to join our Medicinal
and Edible Plant Hike which departs from the
lobby at Grand
Cascades Lodge. The hike costs $10 and
lasts two hours. You’ll be joining Crystal Springs Resort naturalist Heather
Houskeeper for an educational walk through the forest. Learn about local
foliage and the edible and medicinal values of items found on the trail.

Adults can enlist in our Mixology Educators
course or Paint and Sip lessons. The mixology
course is $15 at Springs
Bistro every Saturday. Local artist Susan Roessner
will lead Paint and Sip on the 3rd, 17th, 24th, and 31st of August.
